Metal Roofing Installation - Metal Shingles - Standing Seam

http://www.coolflatroof.com/flat-roofing-blog/metal-roofing/ - Interlocking aluminum shingles Metal Roof being installed on the on residential property right near the ocean. http://www.lametalroof.com/metal-shingles.php - Metal Shingles Roofing.

This Revere, MA home is located in Point of Pines sub-neighborhood located right on the coast and featuring a private beach area. The main roofing concern for us was the strong winds and wind driven water. We specially designed a Ridge Vent Leaks prevention system to make sure the roof remains watertight and no wind-driven rain eneters the house.

Coverage from one tile to another is only 1 inch?

@telosfd

Do you mean the lock? it is actually 3/4" overlapping (interlocking) mechanism, which is more than adequate, and makes the system very durable. Remember - the locks are on all four sides and the shingle is only 1 sq. ft.

I know about Interlock being sued in Hawaii & in many Canadian provinces, but you are missing the point - the installing company gets sued, & because of faulty installation, not because of bad product.

We are currently replacing an interlock roof in Hartford CT, but not because it failed - there was a fire, & the customer still wants a metal roof, but does not want to work with interlock.

Basically the system is great, but as any other roof - if installed incorrectly - it will leak!

Now i'm wondering where the hurtful forms of comments are.

Not enough adhesion to the roof. I can see a tornado or hurricane lifting these shingles right off.

I have the same exact roofing system and mine leaks and since I do not have the money to replace the roof then I am stuck. Although, I would like to know if these shingles are available to homeowners in California?

[badjura]

WRONG - its the product & you know it:

tristarroofing,ca/services1,as­p?id=117

again, replace comma's with periods

@coolflatroof Is absolutely right. I had not seen the LOCKING
